Subject: Chatlist is extremely laborious to sift through

This Chatlist is so cluttered that I find it extremely laborious to sift through. I contacted your web designer and told them the same thing.

I would suggest organizing it according to area and/or topic like the newspaper want ads. Unfortunately, with this web page, you have to scroll through everything to get where you might like to read unless it could be set up with links to topics that you could click on and then be taken to that spot. Even online grocery store ads do that.

Subject: 2nd Annual Plant Sale Fundraiser- Oct 1st!

Hello everyone,

It’s that time of year!  Fall is a great time to put new plants in the ground (particularly shrubs, trees and perennials).  You might be wondering where you can get some reasonably priced plants while helping a worthwhile organization.  Well, here’s your opportunity.  There will even be baked goods available, so you can snack while you shop!
